THE SOOT OF IGNORANCE | RISING ACTION.
WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, WHO ARE YOU?
Greetings, old friends and new, and welcome to — February's Plotting & CR meme! There are some big things going on in Kenos this month, and we wanted to take a moment to welcome everyone. We hope you're enjoying the game! To our older players, we're so proud and honored that you've chosen to spend all this time with little ol' us. May there be more fun in your future!
Before the Oracle event in March, there is something big happening in February. As a celebration of our mid-game, as well as the beginning of Kenos's tonal shift into the latter half of our collective story, the world will undergo some big changes. In the beginning of the month, Meridian's leader: Cyrus, will be assassinated by members of Zenith's faction. In the latter half of February, part of Highstorm (Yima's Manor, specifically) will be hit by a targeted magical weapon's strike by members of Meridian's faction. With both of these events being the culmination of player movements, participation, and dedication, they are acting as the heralds to the second half of the Kenos game.
War has always been waiting in the wings, and now it is officially coming. Enjoy a few days of relaxation, and get your CR engines revving up!

ZENITH | y̷̘͛̚ò̴̮͇̫u̵̖̱͙̎ ̸̲̮̾͝h̷̲̤͆͝a̴̢̰̋̀v̸͍͂͌͋ê̵̢̓͘ ̸̨̄m̸̜̙̟̓̐a̴̠̅̕d̸͈̯̞̄̄e̵̘̺̅̓͛ ̴̟̥̙̀̑m̷̲̩̦̏͂̊a̴̛͜ȓ̶͔͓͙͆t̷̡͓̟̎̈́̑y̵̫͋̌ŗ̵̌s̵̱̮̕ ̵̻̺̀͠
Cyrus — Meridian’s 34th Tribune — is going to die. Down one Oracle to Meridian’s two, Yima has tasked her most faithful followers with his assassination in order to turn the tides back in Zenith’s favour — and so, of course, it will be done.
While matters in Highstorm seem tranquil enough, slowly but surely, activity in Yima’s manor will begin to ramp up, to the point that anyone who resides there or even visits will be able to take note: this is not the norm. Her court is busy with personnel and attendants rushing about, organizing guards— poisons— weapons? Something is afoot, and before long one might be able to piece together whispered conversations of invasion and assault and assassination.
Perhaps you hear about it in time to get your foot in the door, an enterprising Zenite looking to help make your mark and strike a blow for your faction — or, through fortune’s chance, you’re someone looking to warn Cyrus of what’s to come? Or perhaps you pick up on things just a little too late, and suddenly find yourself thrust in the middle of a situation that forces you to either fight or flee. (Freezing and fawning are not recommended; this is about to be an active conflict zone!)
Either way, Cyrus is going to die — but it doesn’t have to go smoothly.
All of this to say: Zenith will be employing a strategy of overwhelming Springstar’s forces and causing mass chaos in the city in order to allow for a couple of Zenites taking a far stealthier approach to get to and ultimately dispatch of Cyrus. Those monster attacks from Ryad in the Below that have been causing trouble in Meridian’s home city? They’re about to come to a massive head, alongside other invading Zenite forces — PC and NPC alike.
As this mission was given to Amos when he hit T4 Harmonization, he will be the one to ultimately carry out the decisive blow against Cyrus.

— FOR ZENITH.
— Are you hearing rumblings that you find concerning? Maybe you want to get in touch with some Meridian friends and warn them that something seems like it’s about to go down.
— Did you want to fight? Now’s your chance! Join the chaos in Springstar and have fun absolutely wrecking the place and/or people. Maybe even do some looting?
— Do you feel bad about innocent civilians getting caught up in this? Maybe you’re more inclined to minimize the damage — try to guide people away from combat zones, or stop a building from blowing up.
— And of course, what of an exit strategy? There are cornerstones throughout Springstar one could use to escape, or you could slip into the Below. Or perhaps something less fortunate befalls you, like being dissipated or captured and jailed by Springstar’s forces...
— FOR MERIDIAN.
— Because this is a successful Zenite assault, Meris will largely find themselves in a reactionary position — but if you were able to receive some word of warning beforehand, perhaps you were able to at least start making some preparations? Shoring up some Springstar defences, evacuating the more vulnerable, or bringing word to Heliopolis to expect something are all possibilities, even if you aren’t quite sure what you’re really preparing for.
— Springstar, your home city, is under attack — it’s time to defend it! There are monsters and Zenites alike to try to fight off and/or kill. It’s not murder if it’s self-defence.
— Of course, if you don’t particularly care (some of you are definitely the type), then maybe this is a good chance for you to snoop around safer areas of Springstar while everyone’s distracted — or maybe even Kowloon or Highstorm, if you really don’t want to be in a conflict zone for some reason.
— FOR THE UNHARMONIZED.
So you’ve found yourself in the midst of a warzone for a conflict you barely know anything about… Whoops. Sorry about that!
— Perhaps this would be a good time to Harmonize one way or the other? Just keep in mind that Meridian isn’t so squeaky clean either…
— But you can join up with Zenith or Meridian characters regardless! Do you thrive on chaos? Do you have a conscience and want to try to at least protect people? You may not have your (or any) powers, but as long as you’ve got the spirit, you’ll probably end up in someone’s good books.

Even with two Oracles in their control under Tribune Cyrus's leadership, Springstar's populace appears to have come to favor another: Agapitos Voreen. The streets teem with conversation about his name, his promises of a hardline stance against Zenith, and his vow to carry on the and his vow to carry on the successes Meridian has been experiencing when he is elected Tribune. ( The successes his soon-to-be pre-deceasesor enjoyed. Oh, sorry. Predecessor. This is an OOC joke, because WE all know Cyrus gon' die. )
Springstar's populace may have turned from their current Tribune, but Meridian's Shard-Bearers still appear to strongly run the show. In the months leading up to the pivotal assassination, the majority of Meri's have been rallied by Set into a joint venture — the development of a grand weapon, with its sights aimed at the core of Highstorm. The effort culminates in a large beam of radiant power being fired upon Yima's Manor a few days after Cyrus's death is announced.
However, leading up to this event there is movement. With several Meridian Shard-Bearers on the move, the efforts of Zenites Link and Drizzt in January result in attention being drawn to the Beyond: the dark, inhospitable landscape of gleaming flora and dangerous fauna that have surrounded the city of Highstorm since its advent. Meridian's Shard-Bearers, a crack team of Legionaries and even retainers have mobilized a supply line that seems to lead to a staging ground near Set and Quetzalcoatl's divine structures.
Something is afoot, and at this stage in the game, one will begin to piece together some pieces of information: mentions of waiting for the right moment and the weapon and letting them dig their own grave.
Either way, Yima’s Manor will be struck — but it doesn’t have to go smoothly.
All of this to say: Meridian has, ironically, taken the Zenite route, and is employing a strategy of defensive subterfuge, clandestine supply runs and the secret assembly of a weapon in the depths of the Beyond. Protected by militant Shard-Bearers, anti-Zenite spellwork and the sheer hostility of the Beyond itself, the weapon is very difficult to get to. But before it is fired, the information is there for your preparations. Will your character attempt to move innocents out of the way? Warn Zenith's leader of what is to come? Will they attempt to ambush or cripple the last of the supply chains or assault Meri participants in an effort to stall the last legs of the construction process?
Pertinent historical information about the development of the weapon can be found here, for the curious looking to see how this came about.

— FOR MERIDIAN.
— Are you hearing rumblings you find concerning? Maybe you want to get in touch with some Zenith friends and warn them that something seems like it’s about to go down. It's too late to stop "the weapon", but at least you can brace them for what's coming.
— Did you want to fight? Now’s your chance! Join the chaos in the wake of the attack on Springstar by focusing on undefended? Highstorm and have fun absolutely wrecking the place and/or people. Maybe even do some looting? Snooping?
— Do you feel bad about innocent civilians getting caught up in this? Maybe you’re more inclined to minimize the damage — and to try to save people who might have gotten caught in the crossfire, even?
— And of course, what of the fallout? Are you going to stand proudly by your participation in this? Are you going to slip back into the shadows and use the chaos to your advantage to (re)forge relations? Will you decry those who participated to Highstorm, to salvage anything you can?
— FOR ZENITH.
— Because Meridian's efforts are in retaliation to Zenith's assassination, their forces will largely find themselves in a reactionary position — if you were able to receive some word of warning beforehand, perhaps you were able to at least start making some preparations? Shoring up some Highstorm defenses, evacuating the more vulnerable, or bringing word to the Manor to expect something are all possibilities, even if you aren’t quite sure what you're preparing for.
— Highstorm, your home city, has been eviscerated— the Manor, specifically. In the wake of the attack, Yima has disappeared and rumblings of the agonized citizenry betray their fears: they do not know what to do. Time to step up, step in and lead your people! They need you more than ever.
— Of course, if you don’t particularly care (some of you are definitely the type), then maybe this is a good chance for you to snoop around safer areas of Highstorm while everyone’s distracted — or maybe even Kowloon or Springstar, if you really don’t want to be around a damaged zone for some reason.
— FOR THE UNHARMONIZED.
So you’ve found yourself in the midst of a warzone for a conflict you barely know anything about… Whoops. Sorry about that!

OOC NOTES & MINI FAQ
This event will take place throughout February. Like the Oracle events, we are frontloading all the information you might desire for your plotting and threading purposes, because this is a doozy of a moment for everyone — no matter your characters investment in their Faction, or the battle for the Oracles, things are changing in Kenos. The rough IC timeline is Friday, February 2nd to Thursday, February 15th for the "first half" of the event, with the "second half" occurring from Friday, February 16th to Thursday, February 29th. Again, this is not a strict timeline, but just an idea of how long both aspects of the event are going on for in-universe.
HERE'S A LITTLE FAQ
My character intends to warn the other faction. What does this look like?
Setting-wise, with both plots preordained to be successful, warnings will at best have a small effect on the environment — e.g. parts of Springstar and Yima’s Manor could be spared, or maybe you manage to get Cyrus an extra half hour of life or so. Keep in mind that both factions are taking this seriously, so they won’t be inclined to let anything big slip in the presence of anyone whose loyalty they are not assured of. Think of it as your character overhearing something sus rather than having any hard evidence.
Character-wise, keep in mind that if anyone finds out you betrayed your faction, there may be consequences. It depends on how sneaky you’re being and if you’re sharing information with the right person! Also keep in mind that betraying your faction will bump your character’s Discord up one tier. The degree of social consequence depends on how sneaky they are, who they tell and, surprisingly, the "type" of person they are*. Essentially if we, as mods, see something about someone's actions in a public arena, that character could be punished (severely!) by their Faction from here on out. Factional trust may become difficult to earn back without concentrated effort, as well.
( *This is an assessment based on your past reported Notable Actions, including where your character has spent time, and what actions they've taken before NPCs! If your character is suspected — or if you WANT them to be, for some reason? — Zenites will be visited by Florence and Kathova, while Meris will be paid a visit General Zaman and Cetina to... have a little chat. )
Please make a note here if your character intends to feed the other faction information, or if your character is Unharmonized and chooses to warn a faction about a plot against them!
My character lives in Yima’s Manor. Do they still have a home?
Yes! Don't worry, we have already considered this when creating the target. The location of Yima's quarters are known, thanks to previous explorations and are far enough away that the damage incurred by the Manor is centralized on that point. She lives far enough from her Shard-Bearers in resident that if you want to opt-in or out of any damage to your room, you can! ( Maybe it's time to get a real place to live! )
My character is going to go searching through the cities. What might they find?
Like in our Iconoclast Oracle event ( link for refresher ), we have a toplevel comment for curious explorers.
What if my character is dissipated during the event?
Dissipations continue to work as normal; they’ll have to be taken to the Tree of Life to revive. Make sure to use the buddy system so someone can take you there!
What if my character is captured during the event?
Individuals who are captured in either city will be immediately imprisoned until the chaos settles. However, before the chaos settles and their fates are decreed by either Faction, the next Oracle will awaken... and call them to it. Thus, they will be ~magically freed~ THIS TIME. The results of their participation/non-participation will be announced following the Oracle, when we deploy our world changes!
What can I expect, going forward?
In the wake of both events, Meridian's leader: Cyrus, will be dead. The fate of Zenith's leader: Yima, will be unknown for some time. Both cities will be damaged. A new Tribune will be selected in due time, and an interim leader will step up to take over Yima's responsibilities. Other world changes will occur, so keep your eyes peeled. For those seeking to Harmonize to either faction, Cetina and Kathova will still be available to assist Zenites. For now.
Lastly, for old players and new, please take a look at The Soot of Ignorance, as a reminder and as an introduction of some of the world-effects still going strong at this time. For no reason. Don't worry about what's coming next.
EDIT: We got so excited about the content, we forgot to include WHEN the post is going up. The event post will be going up Wednesday, February 7th! Please have exploration requests turned in by Thursday, February 15th to receive information on the areas you are exploring.

CHARACTER
NAME: MidnaCANON: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
FACTION | ASPECT: Meridian (living in Highstorm) | Exalt
GIVE US A BLURB ABOUT THEM!: Spoiled arrogant princess who seems pretty selfish on the outside and is but is also more than that on the inside.
GENERAL PLANS:
- Midna started out really wanting to do this thing where she flipped the proverbial bird to both Meridian and Zenith because she doesn't agree with what's going on this world. She's been, unsuccessfully and half-assed, trying to sort of do her own thing and make her own empire. Delusions of grandeur or something. Is this still going on? Kind of? She doesn't even know what she's doing anymore, but her feelings are still the same.
- She relocated to Highstorm after the Harbinger Oracle event and has been there ever since, probably not taking care of her discord as much as she probably should, so I'd love to think she's growing horns and sharp teeth and nails and long hair and whatever other potentially demonic features as a result.
- She died in the Harbinger Oracle and has never exactly gotten over that, and that could very well just add onto why she thinks Meridian and Zenith being back and forth is a foolish course of action.
- Her loyalty has always been up for debate, but I feel like the more time goes on, the more that becomes more evident. Maybe she should enter this phase where one can't really know if she's being sincere, if she's trustworthy, or what the alternatives might be. (Evil storyline?)
EVENT SPECIFIC PLANS::
- I haven't quite figured out how Midna's going to react to Cyrus' assassination just yet. There's probably the likelihood that she'll go to Springstar when it's under attack just to figure out what exactly is going on, check in on those she hasn't seen for a while, potentially play the part of good Meridian.
- There's this grand weapon being constructed and Midna's been tasked with providing the Zenith in Highstorm with distraction, so whilst I don't exactly know the details behind that, maybe she'll commit some acts of vandalism or something to keep some eyes on her. How this is going to be impacted by anything else going on in Highstorm at the same time, I'm not exactly sure.
CR WISHES:
- Honestly, right now, anything. I normally love to give ideas here, but in light of me really just coming back and trying to get my feet wet, I admit that I'm desperate and a fish just going after whatever hook is dangled in front of me. That said, a low down on her and what she might be able to offer—
- Midna's a sorceress and a fairly powerful one. She can break her body down and look effectively invisible, tie things up in her hair, and some other strangely nifty things.
- She's very flirtatious, though tends not to be very serious when it comes to things like that, with some... notable exceptions. Great at making people uncomfortable and invading their personal space unabashedly.
- Deceptive and underhanded, it is sometimes wisest to assume that Midna is either lying or not telling the full truth about most situations and her part in them.
ANYTHING ELSE?: Midna is the shitpost.

Midna loves secrets. And would consider herself the queen of keeping them. I always love a chance for the two of them to bond with one another.

Maybe we could do like a first thread for them, but then wouldn't really need to do anything repetitive post that. I'm open to ideas here! I know you PM'd me about some other stuff too, so I'm trying to figure out if I should be backdating or focusing on more current stuff. Maybe handwave our older plans and thread out this one in terms of magic? Open to ideas here, too.
no subject
I think in the interest of keeping things current, maybe we can handwave they met up in Highstorm for their agreed-upon date and maybe he broached the subject of learning magic there? Unless you think it would be better to combo the asking + actual intro to magic lesson into one thread, in which case I can easily pop into your inbox and get that started.
no subject
I agree. We should handwave their meetup in Highstorm, and can say that they discussed magic learning there. Then we can do something a little more current. Might not have anything immediately to do with magic as the centre focus, but maybe Eustace gets to put some of that growing knowledge of his to good use.

Happy to have him be oblivious. Midna does enjoy a challenge.no subject
I look forward to hijinks!no subject
As it stands, I got two of mine that I can offer to help! Either Akua could help Midna with getting out of Highstorm if needed / maybe they could team up in Highstorm!
Alternatively, we can also do something with Raphael and Midna! Maybe she could rope him into making some big distractions or something like the dramatic bitch that he is!
no subject
The desire exists, but sometimes the mindflesh is just not strong enough to carry me the rest of the way.
Teaming up in Highstorm could be good fun. Not that Akua actually needs Midna's help (honestly, neither does Raphael, though), but if Midna thought something might happen to Akua, she would definitely want to come and help. That said, Midna absolutely is the type to rope Raphael into her own shenanigans, so that would work just as well.
I am good with either / or, both, etc. Wherever your heart might be pulling you. ♥
no subject
But as for the event hmmmmmmm
Since Akua is definitely on team gun and busy doing things for that, let's go with Raphael getting roped into shenanigans! I wasn't planning on TLing with him, But I could whip up a closed starter for you if that works!
no subject
I can write up a closed starter for Raph and ping you when I've got it up. I'll try to get it up tonight, but it might not be until tomorrow.
no subject
I was hoping Yuri'd have more to report to her and he's going to be frustrated at how useless he is for her Discord because oops Harby but... Maybe it's time he paid her that visit? He'll be all the more worried over her after the attack on Springstar.
no subject
(Or make things better later on.)
Whether he comes to see her or she goes to see him, around the attack on Springstar, she'll want to make sure he's okay, so I can make either of those things work out. She'll brave the sunlight for him.
no subject
But he really should hold a princessly hand or something when it won't make things worse.
He'd want to check on her too, especially if she remains in Highstorm... Midna going out in the sub for him is so sweet though.
no subject
That said I adore Midna and I love where their CR is at right now. I think because she's been so insistent on being neutral that Amos probably won't hold anything against her re: this plot — or at the least he damn well knows to respect her now. It's a really interesting relationship, especially as tensions around them ramp up...!
no subject
Hopefully Midna and Amos will have more opportunities to cross paths with one another and continue to exchange some amicable respect for one another. I know at some point, I'd like for her to probably issue him an apology. Not necessarily because she feels she did anything wrong, but she isn't as self-centred as she seems, and she probably has this little voice of guilt in her head telling her that maybe she should be a little nicer to him.
no subject
Amos is pretty available in Highstorm this event — though Midna being there might draw negative attention to herself setting-wise, but probably not from him, so I'm not sure how in the cards it might be for their paths to cross this month (probably somewhere private, if anything)... but there's always the future too! Midna is actually so good sometimes so I would love her apologizing to him, he would almost certainly accept it... The faction antagonism ramping up is a problem but he would almost certainly remain friendly towards her

Because of her precarious position as a Meridian living in Zenith territory, I've figured she's probably smart enough to not go out publicly or gallivant around whilst all of this is happening because it would be very easy for anyone Zenith side to confront her, assume she's somehow responsible or that she knows more than she's letting on (which she does, to some extent), and so on. I've largely concluded that she'll travel very carefully to Springstar to check on things there, but will ultimately end up returning to Highstorm due to Light versus Darkness, etc.
We could have them run into one another at some point maybe during aftermath, but we could do the very same thing sometime after all of this blows over as well. ('Blows over' is a gracious way for me to put that because I can't imagine realistically that things are going to do anything like that for some time, if ever. I suspect tensions will be high for a while and I definitely imagine Midna, if she's even allowed to stay in Highstorm, will be met with a lot of disdain from Zenith.)
So if nothing for this event, we definitely have stuff we can do post event.
